Bummer. I'm getting rounding errors at 9 digits so that my 1's start turning into other values.
It might be nice to see support for this by introducing a new format constant to the AddColumn function and doing the number of characters calculation internally. The output could then be done using '|' instead of '1'.
e.g.
AddColumn(ARRAY, Name, formatBarGraph) ;
Ideally, negative values would be accepted too such that the valid range is -100..+100, centered at zero. We could then combine it with some color control (e.g. red negative values, green positive values) to get a nice looking bar chart column.

be to use powers of 10 to add 1's to the graph column and a format string of 16.0 to truncate any remaining decimal places.
